I have a new grizz with now 100 miles on it, just doesnt seem to be as powerfull as i thought it would be... Ie, in high range it will bog down at high speeds or if in deep mud. My honda 350 forman seems to have more low end umph??? I talked to the dealer, he drove it said it was fine??? Yesterday I couldnt pull away from a 250 timberwolf by more than four quad lengths in a 100 yard drag?? I guess I am just dissapointed in a 600. Does anyone have any feedback? another thing is when i trailride hard and come off a small jump the belt seems to slip, I opened the cover and belt looks fine, I havent done any deep water crossings... HELP

 

do you ride it in high range in deep mud? not a good idea, use low range for all hard going slow stuff.

 

Well not normally, but looking at the gear ratio and power this machine should put out it should spin the tires in high range...

 

I personally own a Grizz and have not had any of these problem, Have you checked the tension of the belt or your clutch?

 

I have had my Grizzly now for about 3 months. I have ridden it in all contitions, deepwater/mud, hillclimbing, and boulder covered trails. I have always wondered why there was any need for the low range!? The Damn thing has sooo much power in high range that I have easily been able to spin the tires in any of the riding I've done. I have never slipped the belt either, and its not from lack of effort! I raced a 250r down a gravel road riding double( I'm 200lbs), and it took more than 100yds for him to get in front of me!

 

sounds like you may have clutch problems

 

My Grizzly has plenty of power, but I know what you mean about the torque. It seems to lose a lot of power through the belt drive. My Foreman seems to have more torque than the Grizz, but the mid-range of the Grizz is unbeatable.

As for the hi-lo range comment, I believe that was made by a Polaris rider. On a Polaris, you will burn up a belt in no time if you don't use low gear in the mud. This does not apply to the Grizz, the belts are quite different.

The Grizzly is known more for its speed than acceleration, its no quicker to 35 mph than the Kodiak 400. I used to own a Grizzly its 600cc didn't impress me.

 

I used to own a Kodiak 400 4x4. I now own a Grizzly. The Kodiak could not hold a candle to my Griz in any aspect of speed, acceleration or top end!
